Story Event

From Kingdom Death Wiki

A story event is a moment in time shared by all the players. When a story event is triggered, everything that is currently happening in the game freezes. Pass the rulebook to a player, and turn to the indicated story event, and read out loud what happens next. Share the full-page artwork with everyone. Once the story event is resolved, and all outcomes have been recorded, the game and anything that was happening resumes. Story events arise as survivors confront important philosophical decisions, explore and gather resources during the hunt, and gain new power. Each monster has a showdown story event that has all the information the players will need to hunt and fight it.

When you see the Story Event Icon icon, trigger the indicated story event immediately. Story events are listed on the settlement's timeline, on some monster cards, on innovations, survivor record sheets, and through other in game events.[1]

Some story events may have an icon of a monster's crest, or a specific pillar preceding the story event's name. This icon directs players to the expansion rulebook where the story event is contained.
